Getting my next chapter ready to release, as well as the next Ariana's Cafe writing prompt. Immortal Separation is being released in the newsletter in case you've forgotten or missed out. Once I've shared the 3rd chapter, I won't be sharing the link all over. It's up to my newsletter subscribers to share and talk about the rest. So if you haven't subscribed, do it now. You can read Chapter One here -  http://arianasfreebies.blogspot.com/p/chapter-one-immortal-separation.html  The link will become invalid once I post Chapter Two. And in case you happen to overlook this chapter, no worries; I will be combining them all at once, and at the top will be jump links so if you just want to start where you left off, you're more than welcome to click and skip ahead. :) Just started writing my first book of the 8 outlines I was working on. I have 5 complete right now, but this past month I have had a lot going on at home, so I haven't had time to work on the ot...

I have had The Secret on my mind for a while. I finally chose to buy it so I could read it and I'm quite happy that I did. I used to reference this book as sounding like the book I read as a young teen called, Being Happy . I ended up being right about the similarities. In the book, Being Happy, it's focused on training your brain to think positively. As in, you attract what you think about most. Buy a new car, think, I sure hope nobody hits me! Result: a shopping cart dings you the moment after you park. Or someone backs into the car as you're leaving the parking lot. As in, our thoughts have energy. Our thoughts, and what we think about most, what we believe in most, will happen. That's not to say that if you can't THINK yourself to something that you didn't think correctly. It simply means that when you focus on something, you're bringing it about. I learned about this method when I was younger. Never truly understood it until recently when I...

Been taking my time with outlining my next books. I have 8 current ideas brewing around in there, and that 8th one is including the Sorceress Series rewrite that I’ve been dealing with. I paused working on that one since I’ve already got the books laid out and don’t really need to outline them. Isn't my outline small? (Via morguefile) However, once reading Holly Lisle’s Create a World Clinic I noticed that some other ideas crept in there with the Sorceress, so in reality, I may end up working on that one as I go. Who knows, more ideas and books may come out of the five books in the Sorceress Series I have, that are already written. I want to at least scrunch that number down to 7 total books to write at once because I only have 7 days in a week. Then I can work on one per day, which would be a challenge, and incredibly fun I think. Worst case: I drop some to focus on the others, then pick up the rest later on. I think I did find a way to incorporate two ideas into one...

This is a powerful book. Most people probably know of the story of Christopher Reeve and his accident that left him in a wheelchair. We watched it on the news, we heard the stories, at some point we came across the it somehow . This book not only chronicles what he remembers happening right up to the accident, and after, but also his life story. Things about him that I never knew, things about him that I didn't realize I would relate to. He's honest and poignant as he tells his story. He details what he went through in great detail after the accident, and tells you about what he faced, and what items he used in his recovery. I found that even when he detailed the machines that he used in recovery and his hospital jargon he learned, that it still remained incredibly engaging. This from someone who generally reads before bed, which means I'm usually tired when I grab my books. Let me tell you, that really helps you discover engaging versus boring books. Because of ...
